Hi,

I bought a Olimex A20 Lime2 4Gb with a friend and one LiPo battery (8000mah). The voltage was 3,86V.
So when I received my battery this week, I plug it to my Olimex after powered off my Olimex on the first boot I saw led orange flash.
After I powered off my Olimex to use only my battery...After one hour > the Olimex crashed. Since this crash I cannot boot on my Olimex without connect my battery.

And now it's not possible to charge my battery : the state for the orange still off. The voltage is 1,75V.
My power supply it's the model on sale on the website : 1A.
I tested the power supply of my rPi : 1,5 A > same problem : no boot and no charge.

EDIT :
When I run this command and when my battery is not connected, I still have "1" :

olimex@LUIGI:~$ sudo cat /sys/devices/platform/soc@01c00000/1c2ac00.i2c/i2c-0/0-0034/battery/connected
1


Can you help me ?
Is it possible to do a factory reset ?

Thanks

Dear All,

With the support of Olimex, I identified it was my power supply the problem : after change my power supply (with 1,5A) everything works as expected !
